More access is better.  Good news!  With Sling carrying ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, FS2, NFL Network, the NFL Red Zone channel, and now the Pac-12 network (in addition to most of the channels you probably watch anyway), cord-cutting looks a lot more attractive to a sports fan.  (I cut the cord after the Rose Bowl, and we've been just fine.  HBO shows through HBO Now.  Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime (which we had for shipping anyway) get us all the shows we could possibly want to watch.  Sports is the kicker, but I watched the Kansas State game at a sports bar, and there's a lot of sports to watch on the OTA channels.  I find that I miss having the games easily available on TV, but I don't miss not having Sportscenter or other programming.)

Of course, if you want both ESPN (which is in the Sling Orange package) and FS1/NFLN (which is in the Sling Blue package), you need to get the combined package, which is $40/mo.  Then the sports package with the Pac-12 regional feeds is an extra $5/mo.  So, if you want to do a relatively comprehensive replacement for your current sports watching package, you're looking at $45/mo.  But if you're just looking for the cheapest way possible to get the Pac-12 network, it'll be $25/mo ($20/mo for the Sling Orange package plus the $5/mo for the sports package).
